The Amazing Johnathan is an eccentric comic magician whose bizarre humor and unscripted antics have earned him widespread recognition as one of the most original and unique performers today. The Las Vegas Review-Journal has given Amazing Johnathan much praise, by including him on the coveted "Best of Las Vegas" list in the "Best Show" category, and also awarding him "Best Comedian of the Year". He is also a two-time winner of the International Magic Award for "Best Comedy Magician."

Starting his professional career as a street performer in San Francisco, Johnathan turned his boyhood hobby of magic into a full-time job. After polishing his act on Fisherman's Wharf in the late '70's, he moved onto nightclubs and colleges in the '80's.

The Amazing Johnathan has performed for audiences all over the world, including countless dignitaries and high-profile officials like President Ronald Reagan and the president of France. His fan base stretches across the globe from the U.S. to the U.K., Europe, South America and Australia, where he is a household name.

During the last 25-plus years of his career, Amazing Johnathan has appeared on numerous television shows including Comedy Central's Lounge Lizards and Premium Blend, F/X's The X Show, Fox's Comic Strip Live, The Arsenio Hall Show, HBO's Young Comedians Special, Late Night with David Letterman, Entertainment Tonight and The Wayne Brady Show, as well as television specials such as NBC's World's Greatest Magic II and The World's Wildest Magicians, ABC's Caesars Palace 30th Anniversary Special, Fox's Champions of Magic, American Airlines' CBS Eye on America, the Travel Channel's Amazing Vacation Homes, and The Greatest Magic Tricks In the Universe...Ever on England's Ch. 5 UK.

Despite making regular appearances on national television shows, his live shows are what Amazing Johnathan thrives on. He has destroyed audiences and stages alike with a style that has been described as a cross between Steve Martin and Alice Cooper. With his impulsive, raw humor and abrasive wit, he keeps audiences on the edge of their seats while exhibiting spontaneous magic and showcasing impressive special effects.

Amazing Johnathan is performing at the Sahara Hotel & casino for an indefinite engagement, appearing in the 550-seat Congo Room where legendary comedians including Johnny Carson, George Burns and Buddy Hackett have performed.

The Amazing Johnathan Show has added new material but still showcases the same impulsive, bizarre humor and abrasive wit that has earned him widespread critical acclaim. Amazing Johnathan has also dragged his wacky assistant of more than five years, Psychic Tanya, with him to the Sahara Hotel & Casino. The energetic and uproarious blonde supports his act with silly banter and spontaneous hilarity resulting in a comic partnership that adds a hysterical spark to Amazing Johnathan's already off-the-wall production.
